"He found out recently how alive things were. He watched them breathe and talk to each other and he knew, finally, that they were there. He observed these things and took mental pictures and pretended to have conversations with them regardless of the language barrier. All of these things made him think about the unanswered questions in the world and the answers that could possibly be applied to them. There were so many thoughts. He had not talked to anyone for days and felt his voice dying. He hated the feeling of not having enough saliva. He soon became obsessed with these thoughts. He saw too many pictures and heard too many sounds. Finally, everything became overwhelming and he imploded. He awoke with a note scribbled on the wall: "Last night, you screamed for someone to organize your mind. So you erased your thoughts. You have been rewarded a clean slate. Feel free to explore." He stayed motionless for quite a while. He started to cry at the thought of not knowing of things he used to speculate. He wished his mind was cluttered again."

There's nothing to talk about anymore besides what my band's doing, what I'm recording for my solo project, and what I'm writing.

So.

1. The band's doing awesome. We're almost ready to play a show.
2. I've got 4 songs complete. A few more and the CD will be done.
3. I'm working on a new screenplay right now that I am very excited about. So far, I've fallen in love with my next door neighbor that I've never even seen and I have a fear of being abandoned by a girl who wants to find herself.

I figure I'll just do that every update for now on, possibly include some other details and things I've been writing, and then I'll do this.

1. Scanners

Written and Directed by David Cronenberg

- Wonderful allegory for the culture of the 80's and even today. Unfortunately, even Cronenberg's twisted mind and story couldn't be saved what with his terrible choice in actors.

Score - 8/10

2.  Scotland, PA

Written and Directed by Billy Morrissette

- Hilarious take on Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Score - 10/10

3. Paris, je t'aime

Vignettes by the Coen brothers, Alexander Payne, Wes Craven, Gus Van Sant, etc.

- Although some pieces were lacking, the ones that stood out picked up the pace.

*Stand out shorts: Alexander Payne's, the Coen Brothers', Wes Craven's, Sylvain Chomet's, Oliver Schmitz', maybe some more.

Score - 8/10

4. Blue Velvet

Written and Directed by David Lynch

- A masterpiece. Easily one of my favorites now.

Score - 10/10

I'll be doing that every Friday for now on. =D.
